Why do Atheists defend Islam?

[CapnAwesome]

I'll never understand the liberal atheists who defend Islam in the name of political correctness. Especially when the same people bash on western culture.  It does happen and even on these boards but is hardly common amoungst Atheists. Most Atheists are very critical of Islam. I would say even the most critical of Islam.

No, it doesn't happen. It's only that some of you are unable to make a distinction between Islam and muslim. And if I haven't made myself perfectly clear already, I step up against that kind of bigotry and not in defense of any religion.

Oh, and what I hate most, is uninformed talking out of the ass. Which happens pretty frequently. Without giving any regards to the multitude of different ethnicitiies, cultures and countries being majority Islam and throwing them all under the same blanket.

Islam and the beliefs of most Muslims are totally against free speech. Of course I'm not against a Muslim who isn't really religious, but wanting Sharia law to be the law of every country in the world is hardly a belief of a small minority of Muslims. I think you love the use of the world 'all'  a little too much, so much that you imagine it in places where people aren't saying it.
